Again, I disagree. It would not be as easy to create a HTML browser. There are
inherent limitations to the Ti-89's display. Most modern HTML pages are formatted
to a large computer monitor with the latest 4.0 standards, and they are heavily
nested in frames tables and images. Creting a TI-Calculator browser able to cut
through these obstacles would be a very difficult task!

Creating our own standard would be simpler, and much more efficient.
